It looks like they transfered entries from the New York State do not call registry to the federal one... dang. I was hoping the New York State one doesn't expire.
You don't _have_ to buy your mobile phone from a service provider, you can just get any old phone that supports the technology that the carrier provides. The carrier also happens to sell the phones. You buy the iPhone from Apple, not AT&T. Its like buying a skateboard and complaining they won't let you use it on the highway. Service providers are allowed to restrict the type of hardware that uses their service. Welcome to America.
Alexa gets its data from a toolbar, apparently...(I actually didn't know that, and now no longer trust their information). Where is Nielsen/NetRatings going to get their data from? It actually poses a good question about all these traffic reports for TV and internet. Are they self reported? Who checks the data? Just curious.
It sounds more like its an implementation specific patent. Having specifications doesn't necessarily mean that it already had implementation details. Of course, it also doesn't mean it didn't.
Wouldn't BayTSP need to connect to the same swarm in order to see other IP addresses. They're probably downloading illegal copyrighted materials too. Since these are civil cases, anyone want to start a lawsuit against them?
Um. No?
From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NSA
The NSA's charter, executive order 12333, authorizes it to collect information that constitutes "foreign intelligence or counterintelligence" while prohibiting "acquiring information concerning the domestic activities of United States persons". Traditionally the NSA has declared that it relies on the FBI, who are responsible for domestic intelligence, to collect information on foreign intelligence activities that occur within the borders of the USA while confining its own activities within the USA to the embassies and missions of foreign nations.
The activities described below, especially the publicly acknowledged and so-called 'Domestic Phone' tapping and Domestic Call Database programs, have caused widespread privacy concerns and worries about the extent of the NSA's powers.
Way to do your homework.
Just curious as to what you can do with a SSN and no other information. I suppose you can try to find the rest of the information of the person that the SSN belongs to... but isn't it weird that so much of our identity relies on a single number?
*sigh* It looks like we have another big bully that is more interested with making money, instead of delivering good products to consumers and competing with other companies. I smell antitrust.
All they need to do is block the main proxy list. After that, any attempt to use p2p proxy... they'll just block the port completely and only allow minimal use of the internet. Port 80, and nothing else. If that doesn't work, they're just going to turn off the internet. If they care enough to censor, I'm sure they don't have a problem completelty disconnectiong.
As I mentioned before, everyone is assuming that even if an admin knew about the vulnerability, they would do something, or know how to do something about it. Worms cause martial law on the internet.
You assume that everyone can make the right choice, and quick enough to have any effect. I'm a believer in democracy, and freedom, or whatever, but there are times when a dictatorship are absolutely necessary.
What about for worms like blaster. If an antiworm was released, it could have prevented the mass chaos that broke out on the internet, slowing everything down... I think.
I would imagine, if it came to it, it would be a world effort. The impact of this will devistate the entire world, I wouldn't be surprised if China contributed their own nukes. There is no reason that the United States should be the only one safeguading the sky, its our world.

Yay for better surf forecast!
Talk about redundant.

the slashdot article it quotes has to be about the article that is quoting it....

I never thought I would root for Microsoft, but I hope they destroy Jack Thompson.

Actually, everyone should go out and buy PS3s. Just don't buy any games.

Google Googlegear anyone?
The same way Microsoft simply proposes to computer vendors that they not sell anything else... or else...?

Why are a bunch of script kiddies being called hackers again?

God. That image is quite disturbing, but necessary. You make a very good point, that image just made it very personal. Thanks for sharing...
Merry Christmas NASA?
Pushing it a fraction off course should make the difference depending on where.
